Dish Celebrates Another Hopper Victory

Dish Wednesday was celebrating New York District Judge Larua Swain's decision not to bar the ad-skipping features on its Hopper DVR, as ABC had requested.

“This decision is yet another victory for American consumers, and we are proud to have stood by their side in this important fight over the fundamental rights of consumer choice and control," said Dish EVP and general counsel R. Stanton Dodge. "This is the third federal court decision that has sided with DISH on consumers’ right to enjoy television as they want, when they want, including the right to skip commercials, if they so choose.”
